Post Your '51-55 Precision or Tele-inspired bass

[Rip Topaz]

Thanks all ! It really wasn't intentionally meant to be creepy.

I have been toting that crate around for over 20 years. In spite of it being older than dirt, it was in pristine condition for its age. Kind of sentimental.

I chose it because of the huge American on the front. The embalming part makes it interesting.

Here is the face without the neck in the way.

If you ever decide to part with this body, please PM me.

There was someone here who did a bass like that, made with a dynamite box.

That was outstanding.

That's gonna be very cool!

Got anymore pics of that one on the far right?

Do you happen to be the owner of these as well? Can't remember where I got that image but I fell in love with all of those basses at once!

Here's my two.

Is the one on the right a Lakland?

This thread must be kept alive!
Here's my precious precision carved from Swedish wood.

Sting-esque!

...and my backup bass, a Squier CV '50s Precision.

I have heavily modified my CV and it has replaced my Stingray as my main bass (even beofre I did anything to it!

Awesome! I had thought about a 5 strings Single Coil Precision before, but I don't really use 5 stringers any more...

That's correct, thats another part of the P-collection, although some Precisions have left the building in the meantime.

Beauty! Is that a custom shop?

 

[Peer75RI]

Thanks, and in a certain way, yes: I've built it.

[Chef]

nice!

 

[Mastermold]

I just noticed--no "Fender" on the headstock! Well done, I might have to build one just like it!

 

[Peer75RI]

Thanks, and you should!

@ Chef: thanks!

Chef, you probably don't remember but you helped answer some questions for me about 51's. Hence the full slab body of ash under the crate face.

Thank you, brother ! You saved me a ton of research.
